Raw Materials and Purchases

Raw materials are separate from normal products. This matters in restaurant and manufacturing workflows where inputs are consumed to produce finished items.

What raw materials are

Raw materials are ingredients or source materials used to create finished items.

Examples:

  • flour
  • sugar
  • rice
  • spice
  • plastic granules
  • fabric input material

Raw material data

The raw material module can store:

  • name
  • unit
  • cost
  • description
  • status

Raw material stock functions

SmartBill can support:

  • raw material initial stock
  • raw material stock list
  • raw material stock adjustment
  • raw material stock reporting
  • raw material purchase workflow

Raw material purchase is kept separate so the business can control input buying and production cost more clearly.
